Sprint for Spirits!

Join us for a fun-filled day of running, booze, and good vibes at Take Flight Spirits.

Lace up your running shoes and join us for our innagural Sprint for Spirits event - we've mapped out a 5k-ish course that starts and ends at this awesome taproom in Skokie. We'll start all together at 11:00 AM. Run, walk or jog before celebrating with a flight of locally-made spirits at the finish line.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun way to stay active, this event is fun for all. The 5k course will take you through scenic routes, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings while getting your heart pumping.

After crossing the finish line, reward yourself with a well-deserved flight from Take Flight Spirits. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment and the taste of a refreshing brew!

So gather your friends and come join us at Take Flight Spirits on August 17. It's going to be a day filled with beer run fun. See you there!
